Title: The Road Less Travelled: Models for Transitioning Books to OA
Abstract: Books have long been the more popular vehicle for communicating research in the Humanities and to a large extent the Social Sciences. Indeed, it has been said that writing the monograph is the research process. However, despite their academic value, books have remained the Cinderella at the Open Access ball.
With limited funding available in HSS and books remaining an important publishing format for HSS researchers, the question of how to move books into open access is gaining more attention. This session outlines general trends in OA book publishing and recent policy developments, as well as the growth of collective funding models for OA books.
CEU Press is a mission driven university press widely recognized for its contribution to research on Central and Eastern Europe. It has recently launched a new model called Opening the Future with COPIM to transition its front list books to open access. Opening the Future is a collective subscription/membership model that uses library spending on backlist access as a leverage to fund future OA publications.

Sponsor Talk: Transition to OA for HSS Publishing
OA2020 and PlanS have brought together funders, institutions, publishers and researchers to discuss an accelerated transition to a subscription-free future on a global stage. The prevalent models in this arena focus on APC publishing for STM journals. This does not extend well to researchers in the humanities and their publishers. This talk aims to bring in the perspective of humanities publishing – analysing the impact of open access on various subject areas using the examples of OA HSS journals and new models to support a transition to OA for book publishing. De Gruyter is an international publisher based in Berlin, Germany, that publishes research in 28 disciplines – across HSS and STM. As a publisher, they were an early adopter of open access – publishing their first OA book in 2005 and reaching over 1,500 open access monographs on their platform this year, making them the largest independent OA book publisher worldwide.
